[Rivet] Proposals for make-plotsFrank Siegert frank.siegert at cern.chFri Apr 8 09:29:35 BST 2011
Hi Riveters, I have a couple of local modifications that I have been carrying in my make-plots for a while and was wondering whether you would consider them useful to commit: 1. If bin sizes are increasing along the x axis, then use LogX=1. Rationale: I often write a quick MC analysis and don't want to bother with setting all the plotting options. That's fine for x/y-labels and title, since I can guess them from the histo name. But for logarithmically binned x axes the histogram becomes not very nice to look at with LogX=0. 2. The dimensions of the .png files have recently been increased quite a bit by changing density=100 -> density=120 (in r2775). I don't care about the --png option, but for --pdfpng I would like to decrease them at least back to the original value, if not even further (e.g. back to the default of 72). Rationale: For plotting on webpages the PNG's are only some kind of largish thumbnails and it is nice to be able to fit as many of them on the screen as possible for quick glancing over the results. If one wants to look into more detail, one can simply click on the plot which will open the fully-scalable PDF file. Any objections? Cheers, Frank
